OLM Overview

OLM(Oracle Learning Management) is one of the modules in Oracle HRMS family. It has capacity to

provide a single system that can meet the learning requirements (related to its employees, customers

and suppliers and partners ) of an enterprise organization.

It is tightly integrated with Talent Management Functions of Oracle HRMS Application through which

you can track the talent enhancements or talent gaps for your organization. Further OLM is also

integrated with Oracle Financial and Order Management Applications to administer financial and

commercial aspects of an enterprise with respect to learning needs. Following are the main

functionalities offered by OLM

Catalog Management

Resources

Content Administration

Resources and Enrollments

Self Service Interfaces

Internal and For-Profit Learning

Enrollments

For further details of above mentioned OLM functionalities. Visit OLM section on this site.

OTA Tables Big List Short name of OLM Application is OTA. Therefore all its tables and APIs start with prefix of OTA. Terms

used in this document OTA and OLM refers to same thing. Catalog related tables of OTA are little

confusing by its name. It is difficult to understand the linking of tables on the basis of their names.

Therefore i have given the ER diagram that shows the relations between main tables of catalog objects.

Also i have provided a sample data sheet just to make the things more simpler and easy to understand.

Description of Tables

OTA.OTA_ACTIVITY_VERSIONS

A course is the highest level of learning that can be prescribed to a learner. It also contains the

objectives and competencies a learner will achieve by completing any class that belongs underneath.

This contains metadata of courses, such as objectives, intended audience , numbers of students that

may attend any class based on the course, and actual and budgeted costs. A Course may be superseded

by another version or it may supersede one itself. The validity dates on the course is available for

scheduling as a class.



A course may belong to one or more categories. A course can therefore be classified for searching

elsewhere in the system, it can be identified as being part of a program of courses, or it can be identified

as part of a package of course that are to have price discounts applied. A course can also be part of a

learning path.

OTA.OTA_OFFERINGS

An offering is a child of a course. An offering is used to create a particular 'flavor' of a course by

assigning attributes such as the delivery mode (online/offline,synchronous/asynchronous), and the

language in which the offering is delivered. For online offerings, content is associated with the offering.

A course may have several offerings beneath it, to allow for circumstances where the same learning is

delivered via several methods or via several languages.

OTA.OTA_CATEGORY_USAGES

Category usages indicate the role in which an activity category is used. Categories are entities that allow

administrative users to organize their course catalog. Categories are containers for courses and learning

paths, and have few attributes. The administrative user can define start and end dates for categories,

select which courses appear in which categories in the course catalog, and define learner access based

on the category level allowing access to be inherited by all the courses the category contains (though

learner access does not need to be defined here, it can be defined at the levels of Course, Offering, and

Class as well).

You can use a category to define:

1. Searching criteria

2. Program specifications

3. Packaged discounts

Each category can be used for all or none of the above. A category usage record indicates which of these

usages is valid for a particular activity category.

OTA.OTA_EVENTS

An event can be scheduled, one time, developmental, program or session

There are several different types of event:

1. A scheduled event is a specific instance of an activity version on which you can enroll students and

customers, and for which you can book resources.

2. A session is a unit of time within a scheduled event for which you can independently book resources.



3. A development event is a mechanism for scheduling employee time and other resources required to

develop new training activities or to enhance existing ones.

4. A program is a group of events that are scheduled together. Students enroll on the program which

may require that they enroll on some or all of the events within the program.

OTA_RESOURCE_BOOKINGS

You book a resource (people, equipment or facilities) for a scheduled or development event, or for

a session. You can book a resource for a specific event, or for a number of events. Each resource booking

can have a start and end dates, as well a start and end times. You can enter start and end times to

support resource bookings that are not required for the full duration of an event.

A resource booking can be one of the following:

1. Planned

2. Confirmed

You can double- book supplied resources if the booking is Planned, but you cannot double-book for

Confirmed bookings. You can add finance information for resource bookings to indicate that

the booking has incurred a cost.

OTA_SUPPLIABLE_RESOURCES

A resource is any facility, person or equipment that you need to book to run an event. You need to set

up a key flexfield structure during setup for each resource type required. Subsequently, you can

enter specific supplied resources that use the resource key flexfield structure applicable to the type of

resource. You can enter additional values that are specific to venues and trainers.

OTA_ACTIVITY_DEFINITIONS

An activity is any educational offering designed to improve a students qualifications, competencies or

experience. An activity is any educational offering that is designed to improve a students qualification,

competencies, or experience.

Examples: a training course, on-job-training, structured work experience.

An activity definition is made up of a number of versions, each of which defines the nature of the

educational offering. The activity definition determines whether the version may run concurrently or

not.

OTA_NOTRNG_HISTORIES



Records attendance data for external training events initiated outside of OTA.

OTA_ACT_CAT_INCLUSIONS

A course category inclusion specifies that a course is within a particular type of category.

OTA_ANNOUNCEMENTS

Announcements can contain text or HTML to deliver timely information to learners. They are only

displayed to learners during the start and end dates specified by the administrator. The text is displayed

to all learners in the business group after logging into Oracle iLearning.

OTA_ATTEMPTS

This table is only used for online learning against learning objects and tests. It contains status, score,

time, and other system information that describes what a learner achieved when playing a particular

learning object or test.

There is one row created for each leraning object/test a learner plays from within the Oracle iLearning

player. The last attempt is sometimes used to calculate the most recent status for the performance

record.

It is also used to determine when a learner can take a test (after their last failed attempt) when an

administrator has defined maximum number of attempts against a test. An internal_state of 'A' indicates

not all information was written to the attempt.

OTA_BULK_ENR_REQUESTS

Bulk Enrollment request consist of any request which is made from the bulk enrollment functionality.

OTA_BULK_ENR_REQ_MEMBERS

Bulk Enrollment request member hold the data of the leaner whom is requested to be enrolled into

Class, Learning Path or Learning Certification via Bulk Enrollment.

OTA_CONFERENCES

A web conference belong to only one class. A class can only have one web conference. this is only used for integration with Oracle Collaboration Suite.

OTA_COURSE_PREREQUISITES



This hold the information of which courses need to be completed before learners can enroll into a

specific course. A course can have one or more courses as prerequisite. The prerequisite can be

mandatory or advisory.

OTA_CROSS_CHARGES

Details to enable internal Cross Charging by mapping Chart of Account details from Oracle General Ledger to Oracle Human Resources. This table stores the header information (i.e., Set of Books, Business Groups, Effective period) of the mappings between Oracle General Ledger's Chart of Account elements and Oracle Human Resources' Cost Allocation elements. Oracle Training Self Serivce modules use the information stored in both OTA_CROSS_CHARGES and OTA_HR_GL_FLEX_MAPS to perform cross charging of internal enrollments.

OTA_HR_GL_FLEX_MAPS

Details to enable internal Cross Charging by mapping Chart of Account details from Oracle General

Ledger to Oracle Human Resources.

This table stores the detail mappings between Oracle General Ledger's Chart of Account keyflex segments and Oracle Human Resources' Cost Allocation keyflex segments. Oracle Training Self Serivce modules use the information stored in both OTA_CROSS_CHARGES and OTA_HR_GL_FLEX_MAPS to perform cross charging of internal enrollments.

OTA_ILN_XML_PROCESSES

iLearning integration data exchange process This table stores the summary of the data exchange between iLearning and OTA.

OTA_IMPORT_HISTORIES

Contain the logs of all import or export functions performed from within the Oracle iLearning interface

OTA_LEARNING_OBJECTS

A learning object holds metadata relating to a piece of online content or test, and are created in the Content tree by administrators. A learning object holds metadata relating to a piece of online content or test, and are created in the Content tree by administrators. Some metadata is displayed to learners to describe the content, such as description, audience, and keywords. Other metadata is used internally by Oracle iLearning, such as the content URL and unique identifiers. Learning objects can also contain other learning objects to establish a content hierarchy.

OTA_LEARNING_PATHS



A learning path defines a sequence of courses that should be completed in order to obtain specific knowledge. This table only stores learning paths created by administrators. A learning path consists of one or more courses. A learning path can subscribe to a learner from within the learner interface. The learner can then enroll in the associated classes for each course. A learning path can also have assigned competencies that a learner will obtain upon completion of the learning path.

OTA_LEARNING_PATH_MEMBERS

A learning path must have at least one course. This table stores each of the courses that have been assigned to the learning path by administrators. OTA.OTA_LEARNING_PATH_MEMBERS does not reference any database object

OTA_LO_FOLDERS

A folder contains learning objects and other folders, and are created in the Content tree by administrators. A folder contains learning objects and other folders, and are created in the Content tree by administrators. The primary use of folders is to organize related content. For example, the Math Faculty folder contains Algebra and Calculus folders. Learning Objects related to each area are then created under their respective folders.

OTA_LO_SCORM_OBJECTIVES

This table is an intersection table which hold relationship between OTA_SCORM_OBJECTIVES and OTA_LEARNING_OBJECTS.

OTA_LP_CAT_INCLUSIONS

A Learning Path category inclusion specifies that a learning path is within a particular type of category.

OTA_LP_ENROLLMENTS

This record all learner subscriptions into a learning path. There is one row for each learner who subscribe to a learning path.

OTA_OPEN_FC_ENROLLMENTS

This stores the enrollment for all category based chat and forum

OTA_TESTS

This table contains additional meta data about the test. The behavior of test test is determined using

some of the properties set in this table. There exists a 1:1 relation between the OTA_TESTS and

OTA_LEARNING_OBJECTS table.



OTA_TEST_QUESTIONS

This table stores acts as a bridge table between the OTA_TEST_SECTIONS and OTA_QUESTIONS table for

test which have a type_flag set to S( Pre Selected)test. This stores which questions will be displayed

under which test sections.

OTA_TEST_SECTIONS

A test can have one or more test sections. For a test to be offered it must have atleast one test section

associated with it which contains atleast one question. There is a 1:N relation between the OTA_TESTS

and OTA_TEST_SECTIONS

OTA_USER_GROUPS_B

This table stores the Learner Group Information. The Learner Group is primarily built by adding person list, assignment or learner group

OTA_USER_GROUP_ELEMENTS

This table stores the Learner Group Elements Information. An element can be a Person ID OR Organization ID, Job ID, Position ID OR Learner Group ID

OTA_UTEST_QUESTIONS

Whenever a user takes a test a new test instance is generated for the user. The test definition (test questions that make up the test) are stored in this table. If the test is resumable and the user has resumed an old test, the attempt_id for the user is updated and the existing test definition is used.

OTA_UTEST_RESPONSES

When the test is assembled for the user, each response to all questions are created in this table. The table is updated as per the response by the user.

Tables ER (Entity Relation) Diagram (w.r.t Catalog related tables)

Diagram below shows only the relation of tables related to catalog management. Purpose of this

diagram is to give an idea to starters so that they should know what are the initial tables they should be

looking at.



Tables Further Explanation Through Data and Data Links

To make initial level understanding, let's assume we create a catalog object model as shown in diagram

below.

Once we shall create the category, sub category and few courses as shown in diagram above, data will

be generated in relevant tables and will look like as is shown in diagram below.

For better understanding, tables are linked with red arrows.



Basic Queries to get Catalog Objects

While working in OLM, At many places, you need to get the catalog objects. As shown above that

catalog objects relations are not as such straight forward and involves linking of different tables so i

suggest to create basic views from the start itself. It will simplify the things and make the development

work very easy.

As per catalog objects hierarchy, following are sample queries to create views for category, sub category

and course. Creating View is totally optional, alternatively you can use the queries also.

Query to get 'Category' Data

create or replace view LSG_CATL_OBJ_PARNT_CATGRY_V

as select distinct ocu.PARENT_CAT_USAGE_ID,ocup.category parent_ctagory--

,ocu.CATEGORY_USAGE_ID,ocu.category,ocu.type,ocu.DATA_SOURCE

from ota_category_usages ocu, ota_category_usages ocup

where ocup.CATEGORY_USAGE_ID = ocu.PARENT_CAT_USAGE_ID

order by 2



Query to get 'Sub Category' Data

create or replace view LSG_CATL_OBJ_SUB_CATGRY_V

as select ocu.PARENT_CAT_USAGE_ID,ocup.category

parent_category,ocu.CATEGORY_USAGE_ID,ocu.category,ocu.type,ocu.DATA_SOURCE

from ota_category_usages ocu, ota_category_usages ocup

where ocup.CATEGORY_USAGE_ID = ocu.PARENT_CAT_USAGE_ID

order by 2

Query to get 'Course' Data

--Catalog Objects Category->Sub Category->Courses

create or replace view LSG_CATL_OBJ_COURSES_V

as select ocu.PARENT_CAT_USAGE_ID,ocup.category

parent_ctagory,ocu.CATEGORY_USAGE_ID,ocu.category,ocu.type,ocu.DATA_SOURCE,

oav.version_code,oav.version_name,oav.activity_version_id

from ota_category_usages ocu, ota_category_usages ocup,ota_activity_definitions

oad,ota_activity_versions oav

where 1=1

and ocup.CATEGORY_USAGE_ID = ocu.PARENT_CAT_USAGE_ID

and ocu.CATEGORY_USAGE_ID = oad.CATEGORY_USAGE_ID

and oav.activity_id = oad.activity_id

Query to get 'External Learning' Data - Based on Views

If you are following the approach to make the view for catalog objects, following is the query to get the

data for external learning.
